Malware (malicious software) is becoming an increasing problem, as it continuously grows both in numbers and complexity. Traditional, signature based anti-virus systems are often incapable of detecting new, sophisticated malware, which calls for more advanced tools. So called sandboxes are tools which automate the process of analyzing malware by actually running them in isolated environments and o

We live in a time where there is an increasing focus on the environment, in terms of classification of vehicle emission standards and environmental zones. Along with this and the fierce market competition that exists, it is odd that a greater effort has not been made in making material-transport more effective by renewing the tarmac on our road-network. The purpose of this report is to show the sa

Dividend is a much-debated subject and has been compared to a puzzle with no sole solution to explain why firms pay dividend. Many academics have tried to determine what company variables determines a firm’s dividend policy. These studies have provided different explanatory variables to explain why firms pay dividends. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to fill in a piece of the dividen

The impressive growth of smart city initiatives can be widely witnessed worldwide. These cities are launched at the effort to improve quality of citizens’ life and help city planners optimize and operationalize management of urban infrastructures. Smart cities are characterized by technologies and systems that are sources of high-volume and high-variety data sources which can be gathered, stored a

In scanning probe microscopy the properties of the tip is crucial in determining which information that can be obtained from the resulting images and spectroscopy. Ordinarily metal tips are used for scanning, however by using semiconducting nanowires as tips one would have very well defined probes with more advanced possibilities for spectroscopic measurements. However, currently creating such hig

Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for many people around the world. In or- der to meet the high demands on the dialysis machines, replaceable parts must be exchanged in proper time. Condition based maintenance (CBM) bases its service decisions on the actual health status of the component. The goal of this master’s thesis was to develop an algorithm based on machine learning, constituting the

The genome of the Belinda variety of the hexaploid oat (Avena sativa) has recently been sequenced and assembled. This project aims to improve the assembly by clustering the thousands of scaffolds into their three ancestral subgenomes using Principle Component Analysis (PCA) of kmer and repeat-element frequencies. The method was developed using a chromosome level assembly of hexaploid Wheat (Tritiu

Syftet med denna undersökning är att studera hur en uppköpares teknologiska karaktär påverkar onormal avkastning vid högteknologiska förvärv. Genom att gruppera de förvärvande bolagen efter industritillhörighet och grad av teknikintensitet strävar författarna att skapa en djupare förståelse kring vilken typ av bolag som kan förväntas generera störst värde åt sina aktieägare vid högteknologiska för

Den här uppsatsen behandlar förvärv av aktiebolags egna aktier (återköp). Återköp tilläts för noterade publika aktiebolag 2000. Sverige var då ett av de sista länderna i Europa som tillät återköp. Återköp ger svenska aktiebolag möjlighet att på ett enkelt sätt överföra överskottslikviditet till aktieägarna, optimera bolagets kapitalstruktur och använda återköpta aktier vid företagsförvärv. Ett åte

This thesis evaluates the conduct of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in relation to a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding with Sweden and Afghanistan, which aims to facilitate voluntary return of Afghan asylum seekers from Sweden to Afghanistan. The Memorandum was concluded in the context of deteriorating security in Afghanistan and the vocal opposition of a community of asylu

Tubular heating elements, produced by Backer AB are today commonly used, serving as systems for intelligent heating in automotive, medical and household industries. Tubular heating element consists of a mantle, resistance wire, electrical insulation (magnesium oxide) and a sealing. When active, an electric current transfers heat from the resistance wire of the heating element to the surroundings w

This paper re-focuses the Silk Road discussions from the position of contemporary art in Central Asian region. Since the late 1980s contemporary art in Central Asia boomed and it eventually became an alternative public space for the discussion of cultural transformations, social and global processes and problems that local societies faced. Initially the questions raised by many artists concerned i

In the fall of 2007 a collective of artists in southern Sweden made waves for themselves by attempting to construct a rather unique ‘club-format’ unlike any other in the [then] current Swedish underground club scene. Guided mainly by a self-proclaimed ‘notion of confusion’ as its foundational principle, the collective behind Klubb Kristallen branded itself as an aspiring anti-club by seeking to ch
